The Property is stunning and the rooms are gorgeous, beautifully decorated & very spacious. The food is good but the menu is limited, great assortment of drinks. My only complaint is the activities, the pool table requires work, the cues are not great & no chalk. They have a beautiful little lake for kayaking but only 1 broken paddle. They have horses and 2 cute little ducks (Adam & Eve) on the property that are very friendly so it would be worth having a coffee or a glass of wine by the lake just to spend time with the begging ducks. If they change a few of these small details I would give a 5 Star Rating
Excellent experience, peaceful, quiet, family friendly!. Service was excellent. Needed more dinning options.

Fue un gusto tenerlos en casa y tener la oportunidad de brindarles un momento muy especial, estamos complacidos de recibirlos, nos encantará tenerlos de regreso.¡Feliz día del Amor & la Amistad!
It's a beautiful real "Hacienda." The gardens are so nice. You can also ride a horse, go paddling in the litle lake, look at the stars while eating marshmallows next to the fire; get a great massage or go to town for a dleicious ice cream.
The bedrooms are cozy but with a lot of space, and very clean. And you can really appreciate the pass of time over the place, since 1910's. Very kind staff.
And they are petfriendly, I took my furry girl with me. No problem at all, and she loves it.
Only, I wish it had a pool.

Dear Rut,
Thanks for your coments, We hope to see you soon.
It's a pleasure to have in the Hacienda La Labor de Rivera
Buenas tardes,
Gracias Alejandra por tu calificación, esperamos volver a verte pronto, y claro que tomaremos en cuenta lo del aire acondicionado
Saludos Cordiales
The location is beautiful, the decorations, the gardens, the small lake or pond. Also, all the employees are very courteous and friendly, especially a lady named Rocio, that works cleaning the rooms. The only thing that could be improved is the service in the restaurant, sometimes they leave clients unattended or take too much time to satisfy a small request.

Deseamos nos de la oportunidad de recibirle nuevamente y brindar a usted una nueva y grata experiencia en nuestras instalaciones y con nuestros servicios,
It was an excellent experience and we had the good fortune to have a tour by Eduardo, who is also the chef, which gave us insight on the history of the hacienda. Food was excellent and we were able to eat on the terrace overlooking the central garden. All of the staff were attentive, rooms clean and a very comfortable bed.
We would certainly visit again

The property was under staffed. The horse stables and garden area were in very poor conditions. The toilet in our suit did not work. Food was ok not as described on the menu. The property overall needs a lot of work. I would not stay here again.

Beautiful place, friendly staff
The location is beautiful, the food is very good and the staff is really nice. We stayed at the hacienda because a couple of friends got married there and we had a blast! It is important to take into consideration that the hotel is quite isolated and moving around can be difficult because there is no uber and cabs are scarce. The ideal option is to rent a car. Also, pack mosquito repellent!

I liked the setting and environment. I wish they could have air conditioning or fans in the room. Also a laundry room for guest will be ideal. Chapel was closed when I tried to visit. Overall I liked my stay.

The worst experience that I have in a hotel in my 25 years traveling around the world. My plan was to spend 200 USD a night to have tranquility and peace for a weekend but what I got was the worst nightmare. Right next to my room a group of 15-20 teenagers screaming and shouting all night. Call the Lobby 3 times (midnight, 130 and 230 am) but NOTHING happened. The day after I went to claim my money back but the manager told me that he couldn't do that BLAMING expedia and not taking responsibility. When I follow up with Expedia this case, he tried to "negotiate" a discount instead of the FULL REFUND that he accepted (in person) that I deserved. I WILL NEVER RETURN TO THIS PLACE and I hope you reader either.

The staff at Hacienda Labor de Rivera were amazing. We had dinner and breakfast at their restaurant and the food was delicious. The WiFi was a bit slow, but that allowed us to accomplish our goal of disconnecting On our vacation. 6 of my family members went horseback riding and loved the experience. They felt that their guide was very patient. We woke up early to see the sunrise and it was truly breathtaking. We will definitely be coming back and staying for a longer period of time.

We have been so impressed with the staff. We stayed here to attend a wedding in Tala - a town 20 minutes away. The hacienda arranged for the taxi back at 2am, then had a staff memeber here to greet us and take us to our rooms.
We are not fluent in Spanish and the staff went above and beyond to communicate with us.
The horse ride gave us a chance to really enjoy the countryside and take in the beauty of the mountains and the volcano.
A wonderful, unique experience.

we booked one night to meet friends for a birdwatching day in the near Sierra del Aguila. The Hacienda is beautifu. The Room was clean and spacious with very comfortable beds. The restaurant offered delicious food.
The one thing we did not like were the FLIES! They were everywhere, including the restaurant. We assumed the horses on the property were the cause for the flies...., but hated having them join us for dinner.
Service was outstanding. At check-in, we asked if we could have breakfast early in the morning before we went birding at 7am. The staff remembered our request and had delicious coffe and fruit and yogurt ready for us at 6:45 am. Considering that the regular breakfast time started at 9:00 am, we were pleased and appreciative to say the least!

Truly a unique hotel in a beautiful setting. Dates back to the 16th century. It retains a lot of it's original structure - the rooms are very modern, well apportioned and very comfortable. Staff are extremely friendly and engaging and we enjoyed both meals we had there. Our only regret was not having more time.

The place is absolutely gorgeous! The architecture is great and the people are super nice and helpful. My only complaints are that there is no AC ( but it's to be expected) and no pool (which I knew before I booked it). They have really awesome stables and plenty of horses. The spa is small but the service was great, we had a couples massage and felt amazing afterwards!

The hacienda is really one of a kind. It is just beautiful and the staff was really friendly. The food was great and can compete with other high-end restaurants. Carlos - the GM- gave me a tour of the grounds and explained the history of the hotel. I would definitely come back again.

Todo excelente, lugar cómodo para relajarse y despejarse de la ciudad
Hermosa hacienda, personal muy amable, desayuno rico y suficiente, recibimos un upgrade y una habitación más cómoda y amplia. Muy amable Daniel y todo el personal
Quizá tener un spa mejoraría enormemente la estancia
Bonitas habitaciones, tienen mucho potencial para mejor los alimentos, bebidas y actividades.
Seria muy lindo detalle recorrer las instalaciones con los clientes al checkin y explicar horarios y servicios disponibles.
